The Chew Viewers’ Choice: Time Saving Suppers

The Chew’s Viewers’ Choice week continued with a Time Saving Suppers show, and this time Michael Symon had a Slow Cooker Braised Short Ribs Recipe, so you can set it and forget it. Symon loves braising short ribs, and he said that viewers are always asking for more slow cooker dinner ideas.

This meal is designed to capture the beauty of a braise with the convenience of a Crock Pot. The secrets are found in browning and caramelization, which you can do in the slow cooker if you have a big enough pan.

If you don’t, just brown the meat on the stove, pour the drippings into the slow cooker when you are done, and you are still going to get that tasty flavor. The salad is crunchy and light to balance the rich fat of the meat.
